The memorandum stated that sufficient numbers of technical and support personnel must be deployed by the telco companies in addition to standby generators that have extra fuel, tools, and spare equipment.

NTC Commissioner Gamaliel A. Cordoba further directed all the telco companies to make their mobile cell sites ready for deployment anytime to the affected areas.
